10 Things: Space
Wednesday, May 12, 2010 at 1:36PM Ok, this would have been more exigent if I’d posted it the day I wrote it, May 4th, but don’t let that stop us!!
Make a list, 1-10, and write the first 10 things you think of when I say SPACE. Go!
[This space left intentionally unblank.]
1. Star Trek. Space, the final frontier.
2. The vast emptiness of space.
3. 2001: A Space Odyssey.
4 The International Space Station.
5. NASA!
6. Virgin Galactic and the private space industry, especially the Spaceport near Las Cruces, NM.
7. Space Races, and hitting the moon with a calculator, some duct tape and a dream. Surely we can do that again?!
8. Virginia Woolf. Personal Space and a Room of Her Own.
9. The Space-time cotinuum and Star Trek (again).
10. Parking spaces and Joni Mitchell.
11. (I can’t stop here!!) Is there space here? Do we have room?
12. Taking up space. Not useful, at least not in that place or to those around it.
13. The Space Bar I. Star Wars and one of the most famous bar scenes in film. (You didn’t think I could do “Space” without Star Wars, did you?)
14. The Space Bar II. At the bottom of the keyboard. So useful.
15. Spacers, between teeth or tiles or planks or people.
16. Give me some space! I just need my space! Back off! Get out of my personal space! (Not you. You stay where you are.)
17. I have a space here, but do I have the time?
18. Don’t space out on me. I’ll stop now. You put some space down there in the comments. You don’t have to do 10. Tell me your favorite though.
Oh, and May the 4th be with you.

Ooh, I forgot one! The last scheduled flight of Shuttle Atlantis, and my wonder about what will be next for the U.S. space program. Will it capture our imaginations? Please say yes.
